But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.Isaiah 53:5
In less than a week Resurrection Day or Easter as it is more commonly called will be celebrated. It is not about baby chicks, bunnies, chocolate eggs, and fancy clothes but is a day to reflect and celebrate that Jesus truly is resurrected and alive and one day will appear to us again.
When He died on that cross over 2000 years ago He died for all of us and our sin no matter how vile, corrupt, or heinous it was. The lashes with a whip, the flogging, the cruel and torturous beatings He did for all even those who would still spit on Him today.
What does Easter mean to you? Think about that for a moment. If you get a chance go see Angel Studios new animated release ‘King of Kings’ definitely for all ages and very understandable. Take time to really reflect on this sacrifice.
PRAYER: Sometimes Easter can be cast aside as a day of frivolity and egg hunts but help me Lord really grasp what this day is all about. I pray for those who have never experienced true freedom to find it this Easter season. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
